Jamie Kennedy’s STOOPID SMART Bowls You Over May 25, Also His Bday, FYI

by Quendrith Johnson, Los Angeles Correspondent

Where has Jamie Kennedy been? In lockdown like the rest of us. But Monday, May 25 (also his milestone birthday), his one-hour comedy special JAMIE KENNEDY: STOOPID SMART breaks out on Tubi TV. Tubi is the self-title “#1 free streaming app” thinly disguised as a start-up.

Kennedy puts it this way: “I have starred in movies. I have had my own television shows. But tonight I am playing the back of a bowling alley in Huntington Beach!”

Humble icebreaker appreciated by all Pandemic Party People in viral hiding per order from on high. Or high on orders to have some fun in spite of it the number-toting superbug.

“I love Tubi – they are truly the next big thing,” says Kennedy. “Kickin’ It Old Skool, Malibu’s Most Wanted, and a few of my specials have been doing awesome on the platform. Given the current state of streaming, it just seemed like an obvious play to make my new special available to stream for free!"

They bill this one as "Appearing Live," which right now means something when DOA is happening all over the world.
